John,
It’s been tough in the last year, but we North Carolinians love traveling the Good Roads State from the Outer Banks to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Now President Biden's Build Back Better plan will make it easier for us to explore our beautiful state in electric cars we can charge easily!
It will make it cleaner and less expensive to power our homes, businesses, and cars, so we can invest more money in our families. It will create high-quality, clean energy jobs weatherizing homes, making and installing solar panels, windmills, and electric car chargers, and more.
North Carolina is already the #2 solar power state, and clean energy is one of the fastest-growing industries. But Biden’s plan will supercharge our economy, making clean energy jobs and products accessible to more people.
What’s in the plan? A lot, but here are some highlights:
- A clean power standard that will bring us 100% Clean Energy for All by 2035
- Bigger rebates to help lower-income Americans buy electric cars and install an EV charger in their home
- 500,000 public EV charging stations across America by 2030
- Convert school and city buses to electric power, and expand both passenger and freight rail
- Make high-speed broadband accessible to every American
- Build or retrofit 2 million energy-efficient homes, schools, and VA hospitals, saving them money on their power bills
- Replace all lead water pipes across the country to stop poisoning communities of color
- Modernize our grid to prevent the Texas blackouts from happening anywhere ever again
- Plug abandoned oil and gas wells that are leaking methane into our atmosphere and causing climate change
- Restock our national PPE stockpile and make us better prepared for future pandemics and more resilient to climate change
- Job training and research and development to create the high-tech, clean energy jobs and products of the future
Sounds great, doesn’t it, John? It won’t happen unless you email your senators and your representative right now. Tell them why this is so urgent to you!
How do we pay for this? By making sure corporate polluters pay their fair share in taxes and create jobs and products in America, not overseas.
This is about building a long-term, sustainable climate and economy, and a healthy quality of life, particularly for low-wealth communities and North Carolinians of color, who are most hurt by pollution and the intersecting COVID, economic, and climate crises.
Thanks for taking action,
Carrie Clark, Executive Director
